About the Author

My name is Sydney Neidell. I was born on September 30th 2002. My favorite thing to do when I have free time is to dance. For Passover, me and my family drive to my grandma and grandpas house. Before eating, we read a story about Passover. When we are done eating, my grandpa hides a piece of Matzah around their house. Whoever finds it first gets a prize. After that, we have dessert. Finally, everyone says their goodbyes and we all go home.
